Swimming and diving goes 4-0 in ACC showdowns

The Virginia swimming and diving teams defeated Duke and North Carolina last weekend in their second and third meets since winter break. The Cavaliers’ results added to strong ACC performances this season.

The Cavalier men’s team defeated North Carolina (1-4, 0-2 ACC) Saturday, 170-130, while the women’s team defeated the Tar Heels (1-4, 0-2 ACC), 173.5-121.5. The men’s side had not defeated North Carolina in four years.

The strong results are encouraging for Virginia as their schedule gets harder over the coming weeks. Next weekend, they head back to North Carolina to face NC State and two weeks later the ACC finals begin. The women’s team will compete to retain their league title in Atlanta, Ga. from Monday, Feb. 13 until Thursday, Feb. 16. The men’s team swims in their ACC finals from Monday, Feb. 27 until Thursday, March 2.

So far, the Cavaliers have enjoyed a successful season and will look to carry that success into the league championships and then the NCAA finals.

Virginia’s next meet is scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28 at NC State in Raleigh, N.C.
